Hi! I made this to show a cool (revolutionary?!) piece of gear. I TOTALLY understand that at €2850,- it's far out of the price range for many guitarists. I played a Roland Cube & a Squier for 10 years and it never stopped me. I played gigs with an old 20 watt solid state modeling amp... I'm not trying to tell you you need expensive stuff to rock 🤘

@chefsalty 4 года назад

but it does make it a bit easier to speak your tone with tools like this. i myself have been playing with my blues jr for 15 years and at the time it was a deal used 200$. with this function on this hook amp, i can effectively take out the monitor part and have it direct to the board and literally no pedals but the midi controller. = win in my opinion.

I was recently in Holland and I got to meet Paul! He was a SUPER cool and nice guy! Here's the story: I was in a nightclub, and I spotted Paul in the corner surrounded by a harem of women. I noticed him because he kept spilling his drink everywhere and waving a pistol around. I approached and introduced myself, and let him know what a huge fan I am of his guitar videos. Paul said, "shut up guitar bitch" and threw his drink in my face. But when I walked away, he stopped me and called me back. "Keep telling the girls about The Guitar Legend Paul Davids while I go grab some cash real quick." I talked to Paul's friends and they were super nice too. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Paul break a beer bottle over the bartender's head and start looting the cash drawer. When he came back, he handed me a stack of money! Awesome guy, huge fan.

I've heard the captain many times before, as well as that combo he was developing while I was at Codarts (around the same time as you were I believe), but they never really took my attention. This however... The sounds you got recorded with it do attract me and I'm pretty confident it will handle the more high-gain stuff I'm usually doing. Maybe time to give him a call again! ;-)

@chefsalty 4 года назад

for everyone that is saying this an expensive amp let's break it down: 10-14 pedals at avg 90$= $1260 2 amps at avg cost/used = $500 plugs and wires and cases and boards = $300 = 2k -ish (these are just for maybe your gigs and shows -1 set up at your house and road) doesn't even include what you have at your studio with the mixer board, mics, etc. we can go on and on. This is geared for the tube model enthusiast/minimalist and I'm all for it. playing a blues junior myself and 2 pedals this would effectively make my life easier. can you just imagine this small footprint of an amp with 1 plug to go to your midi controller and maybe a wireless. Wow. I might just sell everything i have to trade in for the convenience of this product.

@angusorvid8840 2 года назад

Very interesting amp, great demo, and as always, great playing. Love the tones and the way it operates. In regards to venues, yes, they generally don't want to deal with the sort of loud amps that were coming up till the 90s. I live in the States, a very litigious country, so there may be legal reasons for this. But I also think it's because times just sort of change. A lot of gigging musicians prefer equipment that's easier to move gig to gig and set up and break down fast. I've been playing guitar almost forty years in the L.A. area, but took a number of years off from the music scene, which I am just now getting back into. I noticed when I was Ubering a lot of musicians to gigs, especially guitar players, that their rigs were shrinking. In those several years of driving I never encountered one stack, just combos or floor systems like Helix, AxFx, Boss systems and small power amps, and maybe a small speaker, or they were likely going direct without a full amp. My rig now is just a Boss GT one and a Roland Cube which I will mic. It's loud enough for my needs. I play instrumental prog.

Servo motors and standard control circuitry. The servo motor measures the current position, the control circuit compares the measurement value to the preset value, and tells the servo motor to turn in one direction until the measurement matches the preset value. The amp is basically a robot that you can program to swich to the sound you want. If the motors were positioned in a humanoid robot, each preset sound would be a different pose.

@albert4321234 3 года назад

great video and great amp. I actually love the idea (like the Hughes & Kettner GrandMeister Deluxe 40). But after seeing these innovative amps, I appreciate the good old vintage tube amps more.

@RegebroRepairs 4 года назад

That's a nice speaker simulation. I remember when Line 6 POD first came out, and then claimed to emulate an amp and speaker, and nope, it still sounded like you had lined a fuzzbox straight into the mixer. This sounded good.

3174 dollars, for those wondering minds. Definitely not an amp for the broke. But it sounds great.

Hi , seems some confusion about pricing , when shipped outside of Europe , the price is without VAT , resulting in €2355,- excl shipping. Thanks.

@JDM1691 4 года назад

Modelling amps are for people who want to sound like someone else. Much cheaper to sound like yourself.

@rhythmace1 4 года назад

They model amps, not playing. You might as well say "buying a stock amp is for people who want to sound like someone else, if you want to sound like yourself you should get a bespoke custom amp built"

@jayartz8562 4 года назад

@@rhythmace1 well I do build my own amps, and guitars.

@rhythmace1 4 года назад

@@jayartz8562 Nice! But you must know that pretty much any guitar sound under the sun is achievable from off-the-shelf kit and software, and that that the player is the one responsible for the individuality of the sound.

wow! was just considering a Kemper or Fractal rig to replace my trusty old Bogner for more session flexibility/tonal choices, but wasn't so excited about going all-digital. this is an AMAZINGLY well-thought-out unit, possibly a perfect one-amp solution for all my various cab/FOH/IEM situations. thanks so much for sharing this vid! subscribed :D

@boboutelama5748 4 года назад

It's funny, you had the same idea that I had when I was young. I also thought about a single channel tube amp with a bank of settings, allowing to have every sound you want with the andvantages of a single channel amplifier. Happy to see that somebody had the grips to translate this idea in reality.

Good review of a fabulous product. Leendert put all his effort and love in his product. Finally he got the credits he earned..... more then a million guitarplayers... thanks to you. Chappeau...👍👍👍 And... are you are really feel like the "chef"? 😉😁

@MrPonkine 4 года назад

The "Clean" already sounds fuzzy and distorted. Do not like it.

@alexcastro7339 4 года назад

He said that's "his" clean setting... Meaning that's not the only clean settings. Which makes total sense considering there's different amp voicings

@PaulDavids 4 года назад

Exactly how I like it. You can see on the amp that on my clean sound the gain knob is at around 6/7. That's where it starts to break up. Dial it back if you want clean cleans :)

I was going to buy a 5 year old BMW 750 for $10,000, great deal as it seemed until another Beemer owner told me, you better have money for the repairs on all the gadgets it comes with. I hope those self-turning knobs have a solid guarantee behind them.

@baskikkert3034 4 года назад

Great addition to the HOOK offering, still love my Captain 34 v1. Nice review, just one comment as a build: you say ‘ first tube-amp with presets’ but there have been several amps out there who have preset/MIDI as well as Loadbox/DI functionality such as the Hughes & Kettner Meister series or Mesa Boogie Triple Crown. Thanks for the review.
